Is this anything other than a common blue? It was taken between calais and Wimereaux on the french coast on 16th Aug. It appeared a paler blue and seemed to lack a distinct black line around the fringes of its wings. Thanks for looking. Sorry, it's not as sharp as would be desired.

Hi Rich,
It looks like he has lost some of his margins in wear and tear, but I'd go with male Common Blue.
Cheers
